Not only are the production capacities increasing by the lot, we also see new cars being manufactured and exported from India to the rest of the world.
Many OEMs continue to bring in new designs for the international market and make cars in India. they use India as a manufacturing hub to export cars to the rest of the world.
The latest example being of Jimny, where Maruti Suzuki, manufactures the car in India and exports it to the rest of the world.
The situation is similar for many other OEMs like Ford, Kia, and Hyundai.
